How it works with your TV Recorder

Get access to IceTV from anywhere

From wherever you are, using your computer or mobile phone, you can access IceTV and remotely manage your TV Recorder at home. With interactive features at your fingertips, IceTV makes managing your recordings a breeze.

Have shows record automatically

Once recorded, enjoy the freedom to watch your shows at a time that suits you. Snack on TV or sit down for a full feast. The choice is yours. Pause & rewind Live TV and skip through anything you don't want to watch. Like those annoying ads.

Watch them when you want

Once set, IceTV will tell your TV Recorder at home when your favourite shows are on and when to record. Even if your shows disappear for 6-months, change time-slot or switch channels. With IceTV it's as simple as 'set and forget'.
